The CONCERT last night at the Opera
House By the Washington Symphony Or
chestra vas success in every particular.
The concert was given to assist in raising
funds to erect monument in this city to
the memory of the Confederate soldiers of
this city and vicinity who lost their lives in
the late war, and WAS under the manage
meut of Lee Camp Confederate Veterans.
The object WIS sufficient to excite an inter
es: among the entire community and a
larger or more appreciative audience has
rarely assembled in this city than was pres
ent last night. The orchestra was assisted
By Miss Kate Scott, soprano, Miss Clara p.
Harrison, pianist, aud Miss Lillian Parslow,
yiolinist, all of whom acquitted themselves
most creditably and won rounds of applause.
The Knabe piano used on this occasion was
kindly loaned by the Alexandria Musical
association.

II do not like thee. DR.. Fell,
The reason why, ! cannot tell

1t has often been wondered at, the bad
door this oft quoted doctor was in. Twas
probably because he, being one of the old
school doctors, made up pills as lar o as
bullets, which nothing but an ostrich could
bolt without nausea. Hence the dislike.

who are allowed to go barefooted enjoy al
most perfect immunity from the danger of
"cold" by accidental chilling of the feet,
and they are altogether healthier and hap

ANTHONY CoMsToCK has certainly done
great good in New York and elsewhere in
suppressing the sale of obscene pictures and
literature but he has made himself ridiculous
by his last act, and shown himself to be without
proper judgment in the prosecution of his
labors. A reputable and prominent art dealer
in New York recently had impo rted some
reproductions of the prize pictures of the last
Paris salon, and had them on SALE though he
did not have them exposed to view. Com
stock called and asked to see them. They
were brought out and he selected three or four
of the examples of the nude, and then he
signaled to an officer whom he had in waiting
and arrested the proprietor and sales
man. Under the law of New York,
which was made to furnish Mr.. Comstock
with power to suppress the vicious pictures
and literature which were secretly circulated
all over the land, this outrage was committed;
and the dealer and his salesman, who are as
reputable as Mr.. Comstock, may be convicted,
fined and imprisoned because this CONSERVATION
of the public's morals sets himself up as the
ers to buy and place in their homes The
law was not intended to reach any but the
vicious dealer who persisted in corrupting the
young by the circulation of obscene literature
in secret channels and when Mr.. Comstock
oversteps the boundary that separates the dis
reputable from the reputable picture dealer or
publ sher, he should be promptly met with
civil suit for damages that would teach him a
lesson on the rights of his fellow citizens.
After long course of years. in which he has
been fighting great evil he seems to have
lost his head, and displays lack Of judgment
which reflects no credit on himself nor the
Society for the Suppression of Vice which he
represents. It is time that society should
suppress Comstock.

ly ended" The bishop then assures
the interviewer confdentially that I've
have good deal more than the necessary
population, and the Democrats are anxious to
have US in as soon as the scheme can possibly
be worked. They want control of the Senate
and they want our electoral votes, and we are
ready to give them what they ask An agree
ment has been made between our people and
the Democratic party managers that in case
Utah is admitted our Senators and Represent
atives will act on the Democratic side, and
our electoral vote is to be given the same way.
In return, we are to be let alone. I know that
President Cleveland favors the idea as a mat
ter of party policy, and that. the Cabinet
agrees with him" This talkative saint may
be somewhat indiscreet, but his revelations
can do little harm, since he discloses nothing
of which careful observers of the administra-
tons course were not already aware.
